Mine too. The original version of course. It was written about a certain character in a certain time according to Shane McGowan and might not be fitting today with some of the words but it's still a great song. RIP Kirsty Macoll. Such a tragic death

Hey! Are we supposed to list our favorite Christmas songs, or just say whether we like them or not?? B and Gabe love Christmas songs, and are very happy that our favorite radio station has started playing them...already! I love Christmas music, too, but get burned out by the time Christmas actually gets here. I love 'Mary did you Know' by Pentatonix, and several Christmas songs from Michael Buble and Celtic Thunder.

R starts playing Christmas songs in the car from September, it's a way of coping with going back to school after 6 weeks off 🤣
Favourites are A space man came travelling, Sussex Carol, Little Drummer Boy and many others

Whatever floats your boat Marilyn. I pinched the idea from the diabetics forum to make that other stuff disappear down the list. Another fave... I so miss David Bowie, don't want him to be gone.

Will give that last a whirl in a mo, don't know that one apart from Wham version which is played over and over on Sky channels at Christmas. Another fave... am I doing this right? Can you see/hear this? I know Christmas is really coming once I hear this.

Slade have been going years M, they started off as skinheads and then became glamrock with shocking fashions and haircuts. They're from Brum. It's my fave Christmas song I think. It sums up our Christmas.

She has a very nice voice, Pluto, and I love that song! And she's only 15! Ditto that Slade song is great in the pub after several pints! Ah, the memories. I have a friend who uses the slogan 'Slade are for life, not just for Christmas' . She's still a super fan. Love this song

I listen to the same ones over and over, that's a new one on me. It's good to branch out...

That's lovely Ditto. My mum used to love Aled Jones back in the day when her hearing was better. I think she saw him at our local theatre too.
Do you mean you don't know Walking in a winter Wonderland? I thought that was one of the well known Christmas songs.
Couldn't resist this one. It's definitely Christmas when The Snowman is on the telly!

You're welcome.
Something a bit different! She usually sings in English but has about 8 languages. My beloved Floor Jansen with baby Freya on board! Should have been seeing her and Nightwish on December 18th. Next year though!

Love, love all the Christmas carols, the videos are amazing, especially The Snowman and the Floor Jansen. I'm putting on one...at least I think I am...that is a New Orleans favorite, but I find completely annoying after hearing it once per Christmas, lol. The accents are exaggerated, but are some of the local accents, much like you all have different accents from your area. You don't have to listen to the whole thing, it'll make your ears bleed, lmao!
